What are your top 3-4 black businesses #BoBs? We need to start a Friday Blackout or something.

Feel free to post photos.

As in how you listen to music. Whether it be through wireless earbuds, beats by Dre, a stereo setup, through your PC, gaming console, a pair of studio headphones and more. Maybe it's a record player to get the best sound, or you're fine listening to music from your phone.

For me, I usually listen to music while I'm working, so while I'm on my PC. I had a pair of Sennheiser headphones that sounded awesome, but it broke on me fairly soon after I got them. Even got them replaced and those died on me within months.

If I had a record player I would probably use that more often. But you still need decent speakers and turntable to get the best sound I would imagine. Been wanting to get a good setup like that.

Anyway, what about you?

You have seen the AI apps becoming hugely popular as of late. Some of the work created is pretty impressive. These apps use real pictures, art and more to help create these AI Art. But artists are starting to see that the art made from these apps may be using some of their own artwork to teach it.

I did wonder about this, considering these apps use millions of images and sites I imagine to create an image based off a prompt. But those images have to come from somewhere.

So it's kinda scary to think that anyone can potentially use your art and maybe even call it their own. Or these apps should always put a watermark stating their are awkward person here to hang out so as to not confused people who may think it's real art.

Anyway, does this sort of thing scare you if you're an artist? Because who knows, some of your work may be used to teach it, and to take from your art. That's how I see it anyway.

Family, remember .. Be careful out there. I feel like we reached a turning point when this came out. It was a soundtrack!

Most people think that Dubstep is just noise with some loud bass (nah that's just the white producers that stole the genre from us), these Brothers are the real people that brought the concept of Dubstep to the world and some continue to mash up the tracks to this day:

Grime is my all time favourite genre of music and one of the first genres that shaped my childhood.

Ironically, Kanye saying that slavery was a choice wasn't an issue for Balenciaga's owners.

I am sick of seeing it. I am sick of hearing about it.

Yes, we need to be more aware of our environment. Yes, we need to do better for nature and wildlife. Yes, we need to cut down on pollution. I agree with all this.

What I don't agree with is the complete BULL they sell us. Remember that nasty little girl with the accent, the "how dare you" girl? She wanted the US, Canada, Europe, etc. all to give up oil RIGHT NOW. This would kill millions upon millions of people. But she never touched on China or India, two of the biggest pollution drivers in the world. As we speak, China is putting up an average of one coal factory a week. Mind you, the US has dropped its pollution by over 26% in the last 10 years.

I ain't done yet.

Now we are being told we need to give up oil. We have a president closing pipelines. We have rising gas, food, etc. costs. He said he is doing it for the environment... Yet he goes down to Saudi and BEGS them for oil. He tells them to keep on fracking for it. So is this really about the environment? HELL NO.

Back in the day, people used to go on and on about horse crap is everywhere. Causing disease. Causing smells. We needed to ban horse riding! But guess what happened? they were replaced by cars. Humans always find a solution to their problem but the greedy people and politicians at the top want to exploit the time between that.

Did you know Canada PAYS China to recycle its waste? Yes, they ship them their trash and what do they do? They dump it in the ocean.

We have been hearing the world was going to end in 10 years since the 70s. Global warming, climate change, climate crisis... They all peddle this stuff and they keep telling us WE need to change but they NEVER do.

Obama himself peddled this nonsense while buying expensive beachfront property in a place he said would be underwater in 10 years.

THEY ARE ALL LYING! Things are not as bad as they seem. We have time to fix things and we don't need to suffer while we do it but they want each and every one of us to suffer.

Something that I find weird is that I actually have a good and legitimate reason to vote for the Democratic party.

Forget all the politics. Forgot the talk about reparations.

As a federal employee it is severely against my interest to not vote Democrats.
Republicans are constantly trying to take away our benefits. They are constantly trying to charge higher premiums for healthcare. They fight against us getting pay raises.

Anything that helps federal employees the Republicans are against it. They hate us it seems.

So with that said I should by all consensus be voting for the Democratic party. Not doing so is against my financial well being. It's against my family's best interest.

Even with that I'm not supporting the Democratic party.

Now I have a actual articulable reason why I should vote for them. Not some CNN MSNBC talking points. An actual real life, non political reason why I specifically should support the Democratic party.

I can get around that but the blue no matter who folk can't get around the nonsense that espouse!

It's like you can't speak out against the Democratic party without automatically being called a Trump supporter or a Republican.

Even though I haven't ever voted for a single Republican in my life. If a Republican was running unopposed I just didn't vote in that election.

I was a blue no matter who voter since 2000 but God forbid you think on your own. You are automatically called a Trump supporter.

The talking points are all right of CNN ( Caucasian Nazi News) and MSNBC (Mzungu Sellout News By Caucasians). And there is no breaking through.

They attack and all pile on with the same talking points. This isn't a political party with black people. It's a damn cult.

I can't stand by and not say anything anymore. I hate these people. They disgust me. They should all be hated, disowned and pushed out of our lives.

We're looking at having a bad flu season this year.
With everyone having been closed in and just starting to come back our immune systems aren't quite on par with usual.

People aren't washing their hands and wiping stuff down as much. Here where I am masks are all but non existent. Nobody wears them here. Bunch of Trump supporters in Texas.

My daughter tested positive and I'm sure I have caught it from her.

Be careful out there guys.

If you haven't done so think about getting your flu shot and please practice good hand hygiene.

...and trust me, these white folks knew it and left it there.

Whether it be serious or for plastic surgery, have you ever had to get surgery done for any reason.

For me I didn't have to have anything too serious done. I had to get a tube put in my ear when I was a kid, as I used to get a lot of ear infections. I honestly don't remember what the purpose of it was.

But, fairly recently I had to get an abscess taken out. Which is why I think this idea for this topic came up. Anyway I don't think it qualifies as surgery, but they had to cut into it to release the blood that was in there. They didn't notice puss, so they said that was good.

Other than that, that was really it for me. Have you ever had to get surgery done? What kind of surgery was it?

Two things, first second, this is how white supremacy does signaling disguised seemingly as innocent news story. It signals each other in the open like this. Same thing when you see an article about blacks arming themselves in gun clubs, its signaling an alert in the open.

Who did this???

This LA Council racist meeting scandal is not an isolated incident and must not be treated as such. We've seen various, non-stop displays of anti-Black racism from the Latino community and other non-Black groups time and time again. From the likes of the Soho Karen in NYC, George Zimmerman, white nationalist and white supremacist Nick Fuentes, Enrique Tarrio of the Proud Boys, Nikolas Cruz (racist mass school shooter of Parkland, Florida), Ted Cruz, George Lopez, Tekashi 6ix9ine, Latino NK (N1GG3R KILLER) gangs that terrorize Black people throughout California and elsewhere, Fat Joe disrespecting Black Americans by falsely claiming Latinos created Hip Hop "50/50", Gina Rodriguez saying the n-word, Jennifer Lopez screaming "what about Latinas" when Black people get a piece of the pie, and countless more examples. - @ART
